Ecology and Management of Rangelands: The School of Natural Resources and the Environment (SNRE) at the University of Arizona (UA) seeks outstanding applicants for a tenure-track position focused on the ecology and management of working grassland-savanna-shrubland-woodland ecosystems of arid and semi-arid regions (collectively "rangelands"). Extensive livestock grazing, the predominant use of rangelands worldwide, occurs in the context of other, often competing land use objectives on private and public lands. Accordingly, societies are facing unprecedented environmental challenges in the stewardship and progressive management of rangelands. These include losses of biodiversity, climate change, variability and extremes, over-exploitation of water, vegetation, wildlife, and other natural resources, invasive species, and habitat fragmentation, degradation and restoration. As the state's sole land grant institution with integrated research-education-outreach programs serving diverse stakeholders, including ranchers, conservationists, indigenous communities, and Hispanic populations, the successful candidate will (1) conduct research that will help us understand and anticipate these ecological and social challenges; (2) contribute objective, science-based knowledge to collaborative, dynamic, decision-making processes in an adaptive management framework, and (3) provide future scientists, land managers, citizens, and decision-makers with co-developed tools and information needed to address the challenges that confront society and the ecosystems that support us.

As the world confronts unpredictable change, our challenge is to build knowledge and understanding for the foundation of thriving social and ecological systems on a chaotic, increasingly crowded, and warming planet. Some of this knowledge and understanding will come from scientific research, both biophysical and social, and some will come from other disciplines. The most important advances will come through integration of diverse perspectives, methods, and data. Therefore, we seek a colleague who will use quantitative analysis to integrate large and complex datasets across multiple spatial and/or temporal scales. Progress on environmental problems requires understanding and collaborations not only across disciplines, but across cultures as well. We are, therefore, especially interested in applications from people with diverse backgrounds. To view the posting and apply, go to http://oregonstate.edu/jobs and search for posting # P03209UF.

We are especially interested in scholars who study the macro structures that affect the sustainability of societies; the forces that shape the way individuals think and act; and the processes controlling coupled natural-human systems. Western New York represents a living laboratory to study issues and processes over a gradient that includes rural, suburban and urban environments as well as two of the Great Lakes. The department already is broadly based, with faculty ranging from the ecological and environmental sciences to the humanities, and offers undergraduate and graduate degrees including Sustainability Leadership, Environmental Geosciences, Environmental Studies, and Evolution, Ecology and Behavior. Our hires in the next few years will strengthen our ability to solve critical societal and environmental problems and grow degree programs in these important areas. Standard duties for academic-year (10-month) faculty include teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and seminars, advising and mentoring students, maintaining a strong research program, and providing service to the Department and University.
